![]() Kim has no memory of her parents or any knowledge about what happened to them. As far back as Kim can remember, Mother Tibb was the only one who took care of her as a child. For a time, she was part of a gang of child thieves run by a woman call Mother Tibb. She has spent most of her life dressing like a boy and pretending that she is one because life on the streets is even more precarious for a girl. In this early 19 th century world, there is a teenage girl, Kim, who lives on the streets and survives by her own wits, taking whatever jobs she can and committing a little petty thievery whenever she needs to. It is a skill that people are either born with or born without, similar to people who have an innate talent for art or music, compared to people who are born tone-deaf or color-blind. Not everyone can be a wizard because not everyone has the ability to use magic. “Wizard” is an accepted profession, and there is even a Royal College of Wizards dedicated to magic. In this world, magic is a normal and accepted part of society. ![]() This young adult book takes place in an alternate history version of Regency England. ![]()
